For kids designs, the older debbie bliss is my favorite designer. As posts elesewhere on the foums ( yup, some are dated ) here yarns leave a little ( okay, a lot )to be desired. But I am regularly enchanted by at least one of her designs in each new book.
Debbie's newer designs, dating to say since she's had her yarn line, have a lot of variations on earlier themes which do not always enchant me but along comes a surprise.
